Forisk Consulting, a North American forest industry and timber market research firm, has acquired the North American Wood Fiber Review from Wood Resources International.

The Review, which tracks wood fibre markets in all major regions of the United States and Canada, will be published by Forisk as the Forisk Wood Fiber Review beginning in Q1 2020.

“Adding the Review and 35 years of price data to our research portfolio strengthens our ability to serve the forest industry in the U.S. and Canada, as well as international firms with North American assets,” says Dr. Brooks Mendell, president and CEO of Forisk. “Current subscribers can remain confident in the trusted price reporting, as we are thrilled to announce that Tim Gammell, the current executive editor of the Wood Fiber Review, will join our team.”
